•
If you want to use the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), you must configure it on the physical port and
not on the port channel interface.
•
Do not configure a port that is an active member of an EtherChannel as an IEEE 802.1x port. If IEEE
802.1x is enabled on a not-yet active port of an EtherChannel, the port does not join the EtherChannel.
For a complete list of configuration guidelines, see the “Configuring EtherChannels” chapter in the software
configuration guide for this release.
Examples
This example shows how to create a port channel interface with a port channel number of 5:
Switch(config)# interface port-channel 5
You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC or show etherchannel
channel-group-number detail privileged EXEC command.
